Per Randy:
“We were 1-0 in the bye week,” Fleck said. “We used it perfectly. Whether that’s fundamentals, details, techniques, reflection, self-scouting and working Minnesota on Minnesota.”
Those of the cynical nature might argue that since Cal lost 34-0 at San Diego State last weekend, the Gophers took another L of sorts. Fleck’s point, though, was about response, and he believes he has received it.
“You have to handle that defeat, and you have to respond the right way,” he said. “In three games, they’ve handled a lot of things that came their way. You’ve got to put all that together, you apply it in the bye week, and you get better in the bye week.”

Winning the bye week
Fleck has a goal of being 1-0 during every week of the season, which is his way of trying to keep the focus on the task at hand. He even assigns a win or a loss to bye weeks based on how the team practiced.“We were 1-0 in the bye week,” Fleck said. “We used it perfectly. Whether that’s fundamentals, details, techniques, reflection, self-scouting and working Minnesota on Minnesota.”

Gophers won the bye week, but now they have to win this week ahead of Big Ten play Saturday
After a tough performance in Minnesota's loss to Cal, how he responds against Rutgers to begin Big Ten play will be one of the key storylines to watch Saturday.
